What TV show are you currently watching?

[Loony BoB]

Danielle and I have been watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, about one episode per day on average over the past couple of months. When I remember to download the episodes, I also watch Suits. That reminds me...

[Del Murder]

I started watching TNG as well.

I'm just about to start Supernatural!

When it first came out, I thought the premise looked lame. But there are memes and gifs all over my tumblr about it, and tumblr has some pretty great popular fandom groups (Game of Thrones, The Office, Parks and Rec, New Girl, Sherlock, etc) so I decided why the hell not.

I tried with Supernatural but I just couldn't get into it. I watch the occasional one-off episodes and enjoy them but couldn't get into the series as a whole. I think it was too scary for me!

[Shorty]

Really! I wouldn't have thought so! Some of the stuff just looks so cheesy and goofy. I like scary, though, so I am looking forward to it.

[Elskidor]

I couldn't make it past season 2 of Supernatural. I don't believe in angels, devils or any of that stuff so it came across as silly as the Exorcist for me.

I'm watching Breaking Bad currently, and trying to decide between GoT or Proson Break next.

Do you have to believe in the stuff that you watch for entertainment?

I am the biggest weak sauce of all the weak sauces when it comes to scary stuff, so it doesn't take much with me. They have some campier/funny episodes though and I like those.

[Shorty]

Okay, awesome! I like a good mix of scary and campy. I will report back what I think of it after the first season.

If this were the case, I don't think anyone here would be able to enjoy Game of Thrones. Or Firefly. Or any of the other millions of fictional tv shows.

ooh god.. have to wait 3 more weeks till new season of The Walking Dead.. and a half freaking year till new Game Of Thrones :l

[Elskidor]

If this were the case, I don't think anyone here would be able to enjoy Game of Thrones.

I've yet to have seen GoT yet, but I've heard it's fantasy in nature. I love fantasy..Final Fantasy, Hobbit, LoTR, Everquest, etc. Those types of shows or movies don't bother me at all. It's something about heaven, hell, demons, holy water, bibles and crosses that begins to annoy me. I can't get into the vampire tales that follow a strict Christian outlook on what is good vs evil and what is considered holy. It just feels too pushy for me as a non believer, and rubs me the wrong way. I like Walking Dead a hell of a lot, but if it begins too delve into religion and making the entire Zombie thing about God's wrath to the sinning world I would probably lose interest in it rather quickly.

[Del Murder]

I'm fairly certain The Walking Dead will never do that. There may be some characters who think that's true but that will never be the theme of the show.

[Shorty]

To be fair, I didn't think Dexter would ever go that route, and it did.

[Del Murder]

Dexter wasn't based on source material that clearly isn't going in that direction, though. That's the only reason I'm so certain. The Walking Dead was never about the zombie apocalypse, it was about how people react and interact in a lawless and dangerous world.

[Shorty]

Ah, perhaps so.

noo noo noooo, you should not see it like that at all. really, just watch and enjoy :3 dont seek a 'higher meening' in it.
im sure The Walking Dead never reaches out to that kind of thing :o
